Former and the inaugural ROH Women’s Champion Rok-C has been touted to be one of the top prospects to be a future WWE NXT Superstar. Earlier this year, there have been speculations of WWE possibly signing her to a deal that became a reality around Wrestlemania 38. WWE announced their next class of performance center trainees and she was one of the names.
The class also included two wrestlers who are already working on the WWE NXT 2.0 brand – Fallon Henley and Kayla Inlay alongside inaugural ROH Women’s World Champion Rok-C, indie wrestler Nikita Knight, indie wrestler Jake Tucker, Santino Marella’s daughter Bianca Carelli, indie wrestler Cole Karter, and indie wrestler The Notorious Mimi.
